Meet Joy Sun Bear

Hi! I'm Joy Sun Bear!

I'm a curious and playful sun bear from an island called Sumatra. It's part of Indonesia, a big group of islands between Australia and China.

I like learning new things and making new friends. That's one of the reasons I love to travel the world! I enjoy visiting different countries and learning about the cultures there. Then, I share all that with you, my newest friends, in my Travel Journal. Come read about all my adventures and the fascinating people I meet around the world.

How does this sun bear cub get around so fast? Well, I'll tell you! I've got a magical red hot air balloon! I know, sounds weird, right?! You are probably thinking, "how is a sun bear cub from Sumatra going to find and use an air balloon?"

We love to sleep in the trees and make canopy nests made by folding leafy branches over one another.

Some of my other favorites foods to munch on are fruit, termites, little birds, rodents and lizards. But, as you already know, I think the yummiest treat of all is HONEY! That explains why sun bears are also know as honey bears.

Our cubs are super cute!
